Re: [docbook-apps] height literallayout

Yes, it is possible.  You would need to customize the template for 
literallayout as there is no parameter to control that.  Fortunately, you 
can do it with a wrapper around <xsl:apply-imports/> instead of customizing 
the original template. This template computes the height from a PI and wraps 
an fo:block-container around the content that is still processed with the 
original template via xsl:apply-imports:

<xsl:template match="literallayout">
  <xsl:variable name="height">
    <xsl:value-of 
select="normalize-space(processing-instruction('boxheight'))"/>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="string-length($height) &gt; 0">
      <fo:block-container height="{$height}">
        <xsl:apply-imports/>
      </fo:block-container>
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:apply-imports/>
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Then add a processing instruction to your documents as needed:

<literallayout><?boxheight 2in?>First line
...
</literallayout>
